Phips arrives at Québec and manages to reach shore after the English frigates fend off an attempt to interdict the force.

Phips' troops are exhausted and there is little time as they begin the siege.

Otréouati is in a better position at fort Frontenac as French marines still appear in fairly low numbers in both locations and Frontenac is yet to appear.
Are they all hiding or massing at Montréal? Indian scouts in Birchbark Canoes are routed near the fort but Otréouati retains a strong force.

Sometimes I see a strange effect with the images I post. In the last post the images blur a little when viewed in the top half of my screen. In the post before that they are fine. Can anyone else see this distortion or know of a reason for it? All the images are taken in the same way. I've only noticed this since I got a new PC with the dreaded Windows 7.

It's November and Phips' force is still more than 30 days sail from Boston. I think poor weather may have already slowed the fleet and I worry that he won't make it to safe harbour. He could divert to Port Royal but the small town would probably not sustain so many men through the coming winter. St. John is a possibility but I have decided to put my trust in the Lord and pray for fair winds.

English Militia set out from New York to reinforce Albany. An audacious plan to attack Montréal is soon left in tatters as poor weather interrupts their journey up the Hudson river.
Small maneuverings are all that is left for the English and still the French prefer the luxury of their stone bastions to the cold comforts of the field.
Exhausted miltia under Walley arrive in Falmouth while Greene's Point Post survives another month of siege.

A devastating earthquake and tsunami destroy the city of Port Royal in Jamaica.

I missed de Callières attack against Plaisance as the English offered no resistance.
The French have left comfort behind and the English have suffered as a result of complacency as their fleet patrols too far to the south.

Portneuf's large raider force turns its attention to the village of Salmon Falls.
The Boston militia are so reduced from their recent expedition that they struggle to provide a defence for the outlying regions.

de Callières advances overland to St. John as the English fleet moves north.

Only 3 points seperate the two sides! Greene's Point Post survives another month of siege.

A French victory! The main English fleet fails to engage the French frigates but Walleys weaker force is intercepted and takes heavy casualties.
St. John survives the French siege but to no avail.

The game is over for the English (and me ).

I was expecting an early assault against Albany by the French or a raid against the small force at Hudson Bay, but the French decided to play a waiting game and it proved to be the best strategy.
The English assault against Québec was always going to be risky but if successful the game would have been won.
A few events didn't fire as expected but almost all did so I was very happy with the first full playtest. Now to work on the AI and make a few changes!

My sword is yours Uroš, many thanks for playtesting a new scenario once again

Hi folks, here is an AAR for the new King William's War scenario between myself and Carnium (Carnium French against my English). Many people are probably not that familiar with the 1689 conflict so I have attached a few screenshots to show the major areas.

Thanks, Hobbes, for a great AAR! Carnium, congratulations on your victory!

As a matter of fact, thanks to both of you for all the good work that you do with WiA/BoA! You're an inspiration to us all! Keep up the great work, gentlemen!
